Nervous? Oh yes. Any one of a number of things can go wrong, up to and including a red card while conceding a penalty. Celtic will need to score three without reply before any of us relax tonight. It’s the kind of challenge which should be completed within 15 minutes but Brendan Rodgers is right to call for patience. Any rush to get the job done could produce fatal consequences.
18 years ago this week, in front of a packed and newly completed Celtic Park, Larsson, Lambert, Boyd, Rieper, Burley and co. faced an equally unfancied St Patrick’s Athletic but couldn’t put the ball in the net. And they guys knew a thing or two about playing the game. Football isn’t played on paper, sometimes you need reservoirs of patience to invest in this sport.
Remember to get along early to see the league title flag unfurled before kick-off. I know we’ve seen 11 of these events since 2001 but we should never take it for granted.
…………….and the game is on your season ticket.
Best wishes to Tony Watt, if he joins Hearts, and to Massimo Donati, who’s pitching his tent at Hamilton Accies this season. Both created great Champions League memories for us.
I know the Uefa response to Res 12 hasn’t been generally released but did Siri and Skybet get a copy as well as the SFA?

Yeehaaa Away Goals CSC
I like your thinking Barney67
So Jobo won’t arrive on the BSR bike?
I’ll be delighted if the Lithuanians see it out
It’ll still be a hard tie but it wouldn’t be such a ballache to get there.
Jobo,
Are you saying you flew down to Coventry for a meeting…..and nobody would talk to you ;-))
H.H.
:(
:)
I know it’s childish but the Astana left back is Igor Shitov.
I’ve revised my opinion in light of recent events.
They’re both pish.
The Lurkin Tim – I was sent there.
Flight now advertised as departing at 4.50. But not yet called to gate. Hmmmmmmmm…
Mibbe you would have been more approachable if you weren’t doing your Lady Godiva impersonation ;-))

Are you watching the game?
IniquitousIV
Just had a look at last nights results and the first leg of tonight’s games and apart from two or three most of the ties are close .
Not sure if this means that the so called diddy teams have improved or the bigger sides have got diddier.
I suspect we will know where we stand after the first fifteen minutes tonight.

Yes mate. Khazak commentators . Kodi box.
It is still so warm but there are big rain clouds in the sky (where else?) so I don’t know what I’m going to wear.

Bahrudin Atajic on as sub for Vilnius…
HH
The 2nd goal was an absolute blunder by Astana goalie, let it slip right under his body. Just seen replay.
BR half time talks:
Option 1 – we are romping it
‘Keep it up boys – we’ll put all the subs on’
Option 2 – we are drawing
‘Half of you are out.. Not decided which half yet’
option 3 – we are getting pumped
‘ it’s been nice working with you all….’
P67….just read your opener…
That Rosemary and Bobby are not named in your opener….that is no sae braw…
The devil is in the detail…
Very lazy…
Bah..
Less than eight minutes to go, home team on top but bookies going 4/7 the draw.
EC67
Jeez….just got it…..VG….sent to Coventry…..to be ostracized and shunned….;-))

Ataijic once scored a great goal against Hearts. Thats all I remember
Might be worth keeping an eye on this …

Sitter Big Chap…
Should have been all over The Iithuanians..
INIQUITOUSIV
The transfer deadline for the next round is 11:00 pm tomorrow. Anyone think we are ready for Astana?
Whether it’s them or Vilnius, last weeks Celtic would not be ready. This week’s Celtic might. (I hope).
sounds like they’ve had their chances to finish it off
CELTIC40ME
They’ve had a couple mate, finishing doesn’t seem to be that easy on the pitch, ball bounce and two very lively goalies..
11/1 SIX NIL CSC

Don’t think we’ll sign anybody
We’ve tried to sign British based players but are finding ourselves outbid by English sides
Allen, Robson Kanu, Gunter, Duffy, Hyndman & Denayer will all slip through the net
3 Minutes injury time as the Astana almost score..
All hands to the pump now
FFS
They’ve got a retractable roof and a plastic pitch? Why?
Nearly scored there Astana that is.
Astana have scored
=(
crap
Feck..
It’s a long road for a short cut..
2,1 Astana
